Pearl Harbor & Days Of Infamy
Okay, another plug here for some more books I read. I am finishing up the second book in a two book series by Newt Gingrich (yes, that Newt) and William Forstchen. Basically it is an alternate history series about what would have happened had there been a third wave attack on Pearl Harbor? What would have happened had the Japanese destroyed the dry docks that were used to so quickly repair the fleet after the attack. What would have happened to the US had the third attack destroyed most of the rest of the ships, the submarines, and had even caught the aircraft carriers as they were coming back into port. A very believable, and scary, "what if" had it happened. Usually not into alternate histories but this is one that I had both books read in less than a week. Definitely a good read.

It was an ok read. Not much different In My Opinion than any number of Pearl Harbor books. Some will love it as a different insight to the attack, the years leading up to the attack and the Japanese side of the attack. The two authors had a great trilogy with the Civil War and hope to have the same luck with WW II.
